Thank you for visiting Perfect Aesthetics by LJ.

I am fully qualified and insured to perform medical treatments including cosmetic injectable procedures.  I dedicate myself to adhere to the NMC code of conduct, whilst keeping up to date with evidence based practice, with continually educating myself.  This ensures excellent patient safety. I am also a member of the Royal College of Nursing.

I am an independent prescriber which enables me to prescribe without the need of a third party and gives clients peace of mind.  Some of the products used are prescription only medicines which are purchased from UK Registered pharmacies who specialise in aesthetics and pharmaceutical products that have undergone rigorous research.

I was trained at the British Aesthetics Academy in London by Consultant Plastic Surgeon Dr Ahmed Latif and his team.  Prior to this, I studied at Southampton University to achieve a First Class Honours in BN (Hons) Adult Nursing.  I attended Bournemouth University to enhance my nursing knowledge achieving a Level 7 Masters in Advanced History Taking & Physical Assessment then on to Portsmouth University to achieve a Level 7 Masters in Prescribing.  

 

SKIN TREATMENTS 

The skin is the largest organ in the human body and is made of 3 layers, the epidermis, dermis and the hypodermis. As we get older our skin loses collagen and elasticity resulting in the appearance of signs of ageing.  There are non-surgical treatments that can help with the appearance of wrinkles and ageing skin.

 

BOTULINUM TOXIN TREATMENTS

Anti-wrinkle injections: involves a series of small facial injections of purified botulinum toxin administered into the small muscles of the face.  The toxin acts to block the nerve signals reaching the muscles which lead to their paralysis.  This leads to softening of the lines and wrinkles in the treated facial areas, this can reduce appearance of aging and wrinkled skin.  The effect will initially start between 2-7 days and up to 2 weeks for maximum effect of the injections. 

 

DERMAL FILLER TREATMENTS

Dermal fillers: aim to smooth out facial folds and wrinkles, adds volume to the tissues (e.g. lips), and helps to contour facial features. The dermal fillers used at the Perfect Aesthetics by LJ are made of Hyaluronic acid, and also contain lidocaine, a local anaesthetic to help with pain control.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers have been shown to be safe and effective, results can last up to 12 months or longer. After initial treatment, a period of 2 weeks should be allowed for the filler to settle and for residual bruising and swelling to subside. 

 

PROFHILO TREATMENTS

Profhilo treatment can safely stimulate the bodies natural collagen and elastin production, containing concentrations of hyaluronic acid which is already found in our bodies.  There is an immediate improvement in the skin tone, including hydration, minimising lines and wrinkles.  Full results can be seen after 2 weeks.

Profhilo is injected just underneath the surface of the skin where it reacts with your own tissue to instantly boost hydration, remodelling the skin to make it look smoother and firmer in appearance.

Two treatments of Profhilo is recommended, 4 weeks apart,  to get the maximum benefit.  If skin laxity is quite severe a 3rd treatment may be required.  To maintain results, it is recommended to have a single dose every 3 months or the full course of 2 treatments every 6 months.

 

B12 injections (Hydroxocobalamin)
